Guess Inzoi won in the end.

They're not making 5 because 4 still prints money

Inzoi won't win until it works on shitty school/work laptops normalfag women do their gaming on.

>>717274990 (OP)
imagine how fucked a sims 5 would be. imagine nu devs having to make all that from the ground up.

Inzoi is already forgotten but foids are still shelling out for sims 4 expansions.

>>717274990 (OP)
And how is making people pay +2000$ for the full game "player friendly?"

>>717274990 (OP)
I don't play either but Korean games are always subpar to Western versions.C:\Users\Rajeesh\Documents\ShareX\Screenshots\2025-08\Ad72nmSaAr.png

>give up all that content
Maybe actually keep a good chunk of it in this time jackass

>>717275684
yeah, how hard can it be to add a little better textures to furniture that's already pretty decent quality?
The ONE time "reused assets" would be entirely acceptable, they never do it,
why?

>give up all that content
But a new game doesn't make you unable to play the old one?

>>717275684
Well no because that would take too much effort.
>new engine
>new game
>new assets
>keep all the mechanics and features from the last game
That would be like remaking Sims4 PLUS ALL THE SIMS5 STUFF. Besides Sims4 isn't ugly enough to move on and their audience is probably playing on decade old hardware anyway.

Why would anyone want Sims 5? Sims 4 and even 3 are not outdated at all. I don't care about the price because I just pirate DLCs, but I really don't understand why anyone would want the same game with less content and no years of updates, even if you have to pay for it
>>717275684
Total War did just that with Warhammer and people still whined. It doesn't matter what you do people will still be dissatisfied
After the cancellation of that woke hero shooter game CA was very good with updates and even turned that game about Egypt into something decent, but people still want more. Modern developers suck but players aren't any better. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile and ask for more

>>717275983
>new engine
very rarely do devs go to new engines in a series, typically it's just updating the renderer to a newer more capable/more performant renderer and upping memory limits
>new game
ye
>new assets
this is the most bullshit one for sims because, ultimately, you don't need to remake the assets, you could literally take the meshes from sims 1, put on a new normal and diffuse, and no sims player would even notice, there's no logistical reason for not re-using (or at minimum, recycling) the assets every game, they don't do it because it's an opportunity to sell the same shit they've already sold and make bank

sims is a cash cow scamge, i don't play it but my gf does and it pisses me off how much of a fucking scam it is

>>717278504
>pisses me off how much of a fucking scam it is
They are selling a virtual dollhouse and people are paying for that fantasy. Not really a scam. Pathetic, sure, but not more than any slice of life animu faggotry or live service gacha shit.

>>717279065
nigga they literally sell individual doors for a dollar each, that's a scam that preys on stupid people that don't realize how easy it is to make a fucking rectangular prism in blender
>not more than any slice of life animu faggotry or live service gacha shit
yea those are also scams but i don't know anyone who plays them so they don't piss me off firsthand, i still feel bad for the poor people who, through no fault of their own, were raised in to being morons that fall for these predatory practices, it should all be illegal
taking advantage of retards should be illegal

>>717274990 (OP)
inzoi is already forgotten fotm slop
they fucked up by focusing too much on visuals and ultimately alienating a lot of their potential customers
they should quickly work on a console port, make it available on ps5 or something
people aren't gonna build super expensive pcs to play one life sim game, but they're more likely to get a ps5 to play multiple kinds of games

>>717279267
>taking advantage of retards should be illegal
It is literally what our economy, since the dawn of civilization, has been built on. Separating fools from their money is what it's all about. Besides, it's not like anyone is really going to miss a dollar here and a dollar there. Most people wouldn't miss a ten dollar bill disappearing from their wallet either.

>>717279581
>they fucked up by focusing too much on visuals and ultimately alienating a lot of their potential customers
They probably have some other revenue stream that allows them to keep losing money on that game until the hardware of the average PC has caught up and can run their game. I can't imagine a company betting the farm on a game that nobody can run.

>>717279267
How is this worse than selling items in literally any MMO? Sims is greedy and always has been, but it's far from the worst, they even officially support mods and made the game free.

>>717274990 (OP)
they can still scam people for the bare minimum of content
>go play the F2P version
>it's actually just there to be a giant advertisement board because literally all furniture and everything else has been locked behind "Expansions", including basic shit like having more than 1 fence type

ea employees

>>717280395
You do realize that the f2p version is just the full version without DLCs, right? Extra content is extra content.
They did it since Sims 2 and I don't see why anyone would care considering how easy it is to pirate them

>Guess Inzoi won in the end.
Inzoi was immediately forgotten the nanosecond the shillbux dried up. Nobody posts about this genre in general because the audience for The Sims is 40-year-old roasties and pornsick gooners, the latter which are the authentic ones that WILL spend all day cranking their hog and simply do not have the time to post here.

>>717280710
Then it just shows how fucking pointless the game is, they sell you something that has 0 content, you can barely design a house that looks different from another because of the lack of furniture sets, there's barely anything, they purposefully put nothing in the game so they could sell you stuff.
I already know I can pirate but why would I do that when I could just ignore sims entirely and hope it dies off?

>>717280898
>Then it just shows how fucking pointless the game is
You know what I don't remember people complaining about this on release, or during sims 3 or during sims 2
>they purposefully put nothing in the game so they could sell you stuff
I mean yeah. No one will give you anything for free because they need to sell stuff.
>I could just ignore sims entirely and hope it dies off
/v/ as usual, “I fucking hate video games and want them gone”
